The original Long'an Mansion and the temporary courtyard of the West Zhenwu Palace, all of them were carefully reading the latest battle report. ⊙ the top novel, the battle report came from Ye Xueguan and was signed by Yuan Yangbin, the temporary chief of the war who presided over the affairs of the Western Sichuan Xuanwei Sidaomen.

Seven days ago, the Ming army mobilized Xiaoshanwei, Loushanwei, Baima Qianhusuo, Yulong Qianhusuo, Diexi Qianhusuo and other armies, totaling more than 17,000 people, stormed the Erdaoliang military village of Baima Mountain, and finally achieved a great victory after a day and a night of desperate fighting. At this point, all the outer forts set up by the Xia army under the White Horse Mountain were conquered by the Ming army, and the White Horse Mountain was exposed to the bows and crossbows of the Ming army, and the battle situation entered a new stage.

The Wartime Affairs Dispatch Office of the Propaganda Department of the Western Propaganda Department of Daomen and Sichuan believes that since the outbreak of the war, after three years of hard fighting, the Ming army has gradually gained the initiative in the war and has shown great superiority in all aspects, and it is believed that in another one to two years, it will recapture the White Horse Mountain and its homeland 200 miles to the west, and press the battle line back to the Minshan area.

However, the Dispatch Bureau also summed up the problems exposed in the recent stage and found out many deficiencies that needed to be solved urgently, such as the general war-weariness of the Ming soldiers after three years of long-term fighting, such as homesickness, confusion, and low morale, and even a small number of deserters in some guards.

For example, in the long-term confrontation between the Daomen and the Buddhism Gate, the Daomen monks, especially the middle and low-level monks, suffered great losses, and felt more and more difficult to defend the Ming army.

In addition, the consumption of talismans, pills, and magic weapons also far exceeded expectations, and the above-mentioned materials stored by Jin Shanwei and Ye Xueguan were almost bottomed out, and it was difficult to meet the needs of the upcoming battle for the main mountain range of White Horse Mountain.

Based on the above-mentioned difficulties, the Wartime Affairs Dispatch Office of the Propaganda Department of the Western Sichuan Propaganda Department of the Daomen and the Military Affairs Yamen of the Governor-General of Western Sichuan have reached a consensus that the battle for the main mountain of Baima Mountain will have to be postponed.

In the second half of the war report, the Provincial Dispatch Office put forward clear requirements for the provincial palaces of various prefectures in Sichuan: First, all prefectures, county Taoist palaces, and Taoist institutes immediately dispatched Taoist priests who were familiar with the scriptures and had firm beliefs to rush to western Sichuan. He was charged to various guard stations and served as a supervisor and missionary officer, so as to eliminate the war-weariness of the Ming soldiers, boost morale, and restore morale. The second is to break the tradition of walking without being born below the Yellow Crown, and order all prefectures, Taoist halls, and scattered cultivators of each family to send middle and low-level monks to Yexue Pass to listen to orders and protect the Ming army. The third is to urge all prefectures, Taoist halls, and various schools to prepare a large number of talismans, pills, and ritual instruments as much as possible. to charge the military. The fourth is to suggest the Xuanyuan Temple, which can authorize the Taoist palaces to expand the number of Taoist priests to prepare for the manpower needs of the jungle in the ten directions of the Taoist Gate. Fifth, all prefectures and county provincial palaces and provincial institutes are required to cooperate closely with the government and county governments to ensure local stability.

At the same time, the Dispatch Department has also issued a document on the Yansheng Temple in Shaanxi, the Changchun Temple in Hubei, and the Xianren Temple in Guizhou, urging the Daomen of the three provinces to do their best to support the battle at Baima Mountain.

The first, fourth and fifth articles all involve the affairs of the Xizhenwu Palace, and as the successor of Zhang Yunzhao, the prison court, Jing Zhimo must carefully figure out the clues. Worked out a plan for the West Zhenwu Palace, and once Zhang Yunzhao signed the postponement, it would be passed through the four counties of the whole prefecture.

Jing Zhimo has been deeply influenced by his family background since he was a child, and his knowledge, talents, and wrists are all superior, and he has experienced many years of general training.

After blowing dry the ink stains. It was weighed several times and some of the plans were finely adjusted. Jing Zhimo put away the paperwork and prepared to see Zhang Yunzhao. At this time, there was a pawn house pyrotechnic monk who came to pass the word, saying that it was the Zhang Prison Yuan who convened the Sandu meeting, and asked Jing Zhimo to meet in the main hall.

When Jing Zhimo rushed to the main hall with the papers, he saw that Zhang Yunzhao of the prison court, Bai Tengming of the prison, and Liao Tengqiao of the kitchen were already present. So I found a chair to sit down. Suddenly, Zhong Tenghong, who patrolled and signed the house, also entered the main hall with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and sat down in front of the bookcase, laying paper and grinding, and holding a pen in his hand. Look at Zhang Yunzhao.

Zhang Yunzhao coughed lightly: "Let's start." After a pause, he glanced at Sandu and said: "Yesterday, the secret letter of Wuji Institute in Guyang County has arrived, and the beginning and end of the recent surge in rice prices are very long, so I will not relay them one by one, and I mainly talk about a few things in my heart. First, the price of rice in Guyang County has fallen to 30 wen per bucket; second, the Wujiyuan Charity Fund has lent more than 58,700 taels to 3,900 peasant households, of which more than 50,000 taels are the turnover of green seedling money; third, the major households in Guyang County have opened warehouses to sell grain 10 days ago, and Wuji Yuan said that the profits of some large households to re-lend Qingmiao money have also dropped from two cents to 8 percent, but these households have also asked for 'contracting' wasteland, several of which involve Shiquan County and Jiangyou County. Jiangyou may have some trouble, and it is necessary to consult with the two counties by the West Zhenwu Palace and the government office. ”

After that, Zhang Yunzhao took a few sips of the teacup slowly, leaving time for Sandu to think, and Zhong Tenghong next to him flew with a pen and recorded Zhang Yunzhao's original words.

After drinking a cup of tea, Zhang Yunzhao continued: "These few things illustrate a problem, as long as you want to do it and are willing to do it, no matter how difficult the problem is, it can be solved." The price of rice fell, the people of Guyang County were stable, the major households were willing to open warehouses to sell grain, and the people also had money in their hands, which not only solved the problem of drought this year, but also completed the innovation of the loan of green seedling money, and restored the original intention of the establishment of the green seedling warehouse, which is a great thing and a fortunate thing for my Long'an Mansion. A few days ago, when I went to visit the Xuanyuanguan Li Prison Yuan, he told me that if the Qingmiao money is not changed, the land annexation cannot be delayed, and the people's lives will become more and more difficult. Now that Wuji Academy has sent good news, I am ready to immediately repair the book and inform the Li Prison Academy, presumably Senior Brother Li must be extremely pleased, and I, Zhang Yunzhao, can be regarded as worthy of Senior Brother Li's trust. ”

Zhang Yunzhao is the most powerful prison in the West Zhenwu Palace in the past hundred years, generally speaking, if he starts the discussion, there is a long discussion, it means that he has made up his mind, no matter what he wants to do next, only others agree, except for a slight modification and supplement on the end of the branches and leaves, it is best not to have any objections to the main decision, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable. Therefore, Jing Zhimo, Bai Tengming, Liao Tengqiao, etc., all know that this time the Zhang Prison Institute is determined to promote the "Guyang County experience".

Sure enough, Zhang Yunzhao didn't give others a chance to oppose at all, and said directly: "The reform of Guyang County's Qingmiao Qian has been completed, and the results are remarkable, and I have made up my mind to push this matter to the whole government." You have all been clear about the policies and measures in Guyang County, and now you are all here to see if there is anything that needs to be supplemented and adjusted?"

Bai Tengming said: "The relevant strategies of Guyang County are very mature, and they have done a good job of differentiation, co-optation, and suppression. I think we can start doing it right away. However, it was suddenly extended to the whole province, I am afraid it was still too radical, Pingwu County is the capital city, and the gentry are different from Guyang, Jiangyou, and Shiquan counties after all, the relationship is complex, the network is very wide, and the clan is connected to Chengdu and even Jingshi, abound. In order to make this matter go smoothly, can I do so now in Shiquan and Jiangyou? Didn't the letter from Wuji Yuan say that some enlightened and large households in Guyang County wanted to 'contract' land involving Shiquan and Jiangyou? When the other three counties are safe, the problem of Pingwu will be solved. ”

Liao Tengqiao nodded: "This is an old saying. ”

Zhang Yunzhao praised: "What Bai Du said is reasonable, and I also think so. With that, he turned his gaze to Jing Zhimo.

Jing Zhimo didn't dare to object, so he naturally nodded in support, so the plan was finalized.

Zhang Yunzhao said: "Wuji Yuan said in the letter that you can convene the heads of the county provincial courts and county government offices in Guyang County to discuss the matter, observe the distribution process of charity funds, listen to the detailed introduction of the strategies of Guyang County, discuss the difficulties of the reform of the green seedlings in each county, ask questions on the spot, and solve them on the spot, so as to agree on the steps of the reform of each county. What do you think?"

The three all nodded yes, so Zhang Yunzhao ordered Zhong Tenghong, who was recorded on the side, to prepare an official document on the spot and send it to the government and the four county provincial courts of Pingwu, Jiangyou, Shiquan and Guyang.

A major policy, under Zhang Yunzhao's resolute and resolute iron fist, won the unanimous understanding of the three capital deliberations, Zhang Yunzhao was in a good mood, drinking tea with a smile, and looking at the scenery. In the past two years, he has become more and more lacking in energy, and at this moment, he secretly began to think about how to push Jing Zhimo to the fore in this change, so as to complete the smooth transition of power in Xizhenwu Palace.
